That was a truly sickening experience. One thing most people aren't mentioning is that this film takes perspective from the killer only.. No annoying cops until the end, and they don't even talk lol. Just a look into the mind, habits and daily rituals of a maniac. The gore was just an extra. Do not watch with your gf, I wouldn't even try and she can handle some stuff. There's just a seedy, genuine vibe here and it's what makes 80's horror stand out from every other era, the 70's was great too though.
